MERKÜT THERMAL
The MERKÜT variant with a thermal seeker for night and low-visibility conditions. Heat-signature detection remains effective against camouflaged and concealed targets.
- MERKÜT E/OElectro-optical daylight camera, precise target discrimination
- MERKÜT THERMALVIEWINGHeat-signature detection, effective against camouflaged targets
- MERKÜT TETHEREDFibre-optic tethered data link, full immunity to jamming with 10–30 km cable options
Strategic superiority in multi-role operations
High performance in reconnaissance, surveillance and target-oriented missions. Its modular structure adapts rapidly to differing mission requirements.
MERKÜT THERMAL shares the airframe and munition architecture of the family; it differs in the thermal seeker head. Heat-signature detection preserves target acquisition in darkness and low visibility.
Proximity sensor
A detonation distance adjustable between 50 centimetres and 10 metres optimises the effective area for the target type at hand.
High-quality video transmission
Day and night vision support with uninterrupted high-resolution video transmission.
Modular munition system
A structure swappable by mission type, with several warhead options for differing target types.

Directed anti-personnel fragmentation
The directed-fragmentation warhead shared with the rest of the MERKÜT family.
